Hi all, this is a pic of Rhy Herbert Kurihara that I had years ago. It used to flower 3 or 4 times a year for me in coolish conditions. I would like to get a piece back but no=one seems to have it. Any Aussies in the forum, if they know where it can be found or have a spare piece could you let me know please.

I know of a place in Hawaii that has an orchid listed as Rhv. Herbert Kurihara 'Pink' the link is
Rhv. Herbert Kurihara 'Pink'

I don't know how much work it would be to get it to you in Australia who knows maybe they can tell you where to get one closer to where you are

The news is Great, I have had a reply from a nursery that has a plant all ready to send to me.
Its not the best of all but it just grows and flowers great.
If anyone o/seas finds a plant of it, get it, you shouldn't be disappointed.

I saw this one and read a few of the post. I found the plant to be semi compact. It will grow tall over the years.
The flower count on the one in the pic is way down. I have had 10 - 12 flowers per spike. It does drop flower count at various time thru the year to 7 or 8 but thats was in the cool conditions I had at the time. With warmth the flower count should be min 8.

Good news, this plant is now in my hot house.
